I have an 02 passat diesel and the clutch didn't seem to be dis-engaging. If it was started with the pedal down and in reverse it would grip.
The clutch itself is out and looks ok with little visible wear. It's one of those
heavy affairs with the plate seeming to be sandwiched between two mechanisms-don't know the proper name. The clutch slave cylinder seems ok and not blocked or anything. My problem is...is this clutch unit well known trouble - I've heard it is. Is there a remedy? Or do I shell out for a traditional clutch assembly to replace it.
Any suggestions gratefully received and they need not be as long winded as my plea for help. Thanks, mart
